"em heat" stands for emergency heat, when the temperature drops below a certain point this will allow your heat strips to kick in, you can also switch at any time to emergency heat and the heat strips will kick in, this however, allows the system to run like you have an electric heat/cool unit vs. a heat pump. The heat pump mode is more efficient but emergency heat will produce warmer air quicker. Hope this answers your question.

Who makes a over and under heat pump besides trane and bard?
I know of Trane and American Standard
Can you pump down a heat pump system in heat mode just as you would do in the cool mode?
No, the energy in a heat pump system must be transfered to another heat pump system because the first law of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Can a heat pump thermostat be used on non heat pump air conditioning system?
yes it can but everytime you want heat you have to put it on Emergency Heat..
What brands of heat pumps offer energy efficient heating?
Heat pump efficiency can be expressed in SEER rating, with 13 being a mediocre heat pump. Infinity currently has the most efficient energy pump on the market, with a SEER rating of up to 20,5. American Standard, Comfortmaker and TempStart provide units with a 17+ SEER rating.
What is the difference between heat engine and heat pump?
Heat Engine is the system that converts the Heat energy into mechanical work while Heat pump converts the work into heat
Does EmHeat costs more than the heat pump mode in an airconditioning system?
yes it does as the heat pump is more effeciant.
How do you know if you have a heat pump?
If your themostat has an emergency heat (eheat) setting on your mode selector( Cool Off Heat Eheat ) this is the most common indicator of a heat pump system.
Will central heat work without air conditioner?
Yes, as long as it a gas system and not a electric heat pump system
How do you inflate an American football?
Standard bicycle pump or soccer ball pump will do as long as it has a needle attachment.
How many watts does the standard heat pump use?
About 3 kWh's of heat are created for every kWh of electricity it consumes
Should your outdoor HVAC compressor run when your heater is on?
no sounds like your wires are crossed at your thromsthat Answer If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump. even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.
Does the fan outside on the unit have to work for the central heating unit?
is it really run ning or is it possible that you have a heat pump system and it is the heating portion of the system operating?
